DA IS THE THREAT!

VS.

To be sufficiently realistic, Democratic Alliance is a sore threat to the ruling party (African National Congress). DA, led by Helen Zille was an intimidation to the ANC in year 2009 during the national elections. In 15 August 2010, the DA and Independent Democrats (ID) merged. Do not forget that ID had its own large number of supporters and they all joined the larger number of DA.

Bear in your mind that there are members of the very ANC who are gradually joining the DA. Not only that but also the Congress of the People (COPE) has its own number of fine-minded chaps. So in all, ANC is losing its members.

Some people are leaving ANC (the party of our fore-fathers) because of some few individuals who could be easily kicked out of the party. ANC just does not afford losing more than 20 000 people because of not liking what is being done by Julius Malema (ANC Youth league president), and what is coming out of his mouth. And at the end the ruling party supports the negative and racial statements spilled by Malema. Taking the “shoot the boer (white person)” song sung by Malema. NOT in any way on Earth, especially in a democratic country, the expression “shoot the boer” is justifiable.

They try to sugar quote the saying, saying that it was “not literal”. How crazy is that? The ANC is now saying that Malema was not wrong! In case they are not aware that ‘WE’ have had enough of what they are doing, we are packing our bags, we leave the party with bleeding hearts. Not that we are leaving ANC by choice, but they are forcing us to hit the road.

Democratic Alliance is undeniably the threat! It has won Western Cape province, and it keeps on helping black needy people, not only black, but I am trying to convey that DA is not only serving for whites as its leader is white. The other thing that made me see that DA could take over is the advertisement that keeps playing on SABC of an old ‘black’ lady, who was living in a rusty shack for years. She got help from DA, and was given a decent house. In case you did not know, our gogos are easily brainwashed (especially by beautiful things), so our grannies will see that help is only found in DA. Then decide not to waste their ‘X’s’ to ANC.

Can’t they see that Madiba is still alive? How do these things get accommodated in his heart?

ANC, you better change NOW, because tomorrow is not by your side!!  

INACCURATE INFORMATION BY HEARSAYS!

The press release by Herald on the 01 of March this year was proven inaccurate by Mrs Mtshake, superintendent of Dora Nginza Complex. The Herald stated that Dora Nginza’s maternity unit “has slightly higher norm than average”. The whole Nelson Mandela Bay’s health services was said to have “collapse”.

 Dora Nginza was partly mentioned for its “high mortality death rate”, as the Herald stated. The health service of Dora Nginza hospital makes Mrs Mtshake happy. “Since the year (2008) I arrived in this hospital, it works to my pleasures”, said the superintendent of Dora Nginza with a huge smile. Although there are attitudes between the staff, but they are working on it. Dora Nginza hospital is the heart of Nelson Mandela Bay and it caters for 32 towns, and those are all the Western region towns of the Eastern Cape. “Before people talk, they do not first look at how vast the number of patients Dora is catering for” said Mrs Gedult, Area Manager of the maternity ward. Gedult is also happy with the functioning of the hospital, although they are working on understaffed conditions. Due to the shortage of staff, they cannot deliver the expected quality of care.   

Dora Nginza Hospital is at its best condition, patients have proved that. Nandipha Mzaydume said she does not have any problem with the hospital, from its food to the attitude of the staff; she has been there for three weeks as a patient with gold stone illness. The maternity ward used to have four-bedded units, as from the third of January the beds were increased to ten per unit. All this happened without the addition of the new staff. “Our government does employ”, said Mrs Gedult, raising her eyebrows. Also the government does not provide enough funds, which in turn affects them in rendering the best for the patients. Last September, Dora Nginza Hospital went out of funds, and they got help from East London Complex.

There are few things that need to be improved at Dora Nginza hospital, casualty is one of them. Dora Nginza Hospital has a very small casualty. And the casualty is not divided into rooms, so there is “no proper privacy”, there goes Mrs Mtshake. Planners who were planning the casualty knew that Dora was going to be the centre complex, which was going to cater for more than thirty towns, just to name few: Port Elizabeth, Graafreinet, Port Alfred, Uitenhage, and others. The hospital says they could try their best in service but if there can only be co-operation between the patients and the primary health care (clinics). The staffs are complaining about the patients who do not come to the hospital at an early stage. The clinics are also underperforming; people who should have been attended by the clinics come to the hospitals.

Superintendent of the hospital said journalists must change their mind set, they must not look at what is bad only. Also the good side needs to be put eye.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY?

What people like or adore most give it different names, most of them, slangs. 'Money is one of the most loved objects by the contemporary society, arguably by everyone on this world we are living on. Though some people pretend as if they are not after money; people say those types of things because in some instances they don’t want to be looked by the eye which is going to say “hey you, you are greedy! I have a classmate by the name of Mawande Mvumvu. The mentioned guy once said in class that he is not schooling because he wants money in the future. I wondered for a minute...maybe he doesn’t know that his world would hardly move in absence of money.

Just to go back a bit on the above stated piece about the money nicknames, if I can give you few of the nicknames: Inyhuku (usually used by Xhosa people), moola, cash, bucks, greenback, and rhino. No-one bothers him/herself about where and why these terms were coined. You know why? It goes back to what I said that we are so obsessed over money, we even forget what to ask and what not. If nowadays you don’t have money like me, you are absolutely nothing, talking from experience.

The world you are living in is experiencing vast of bad things because of cash. I am talking about prostitution (the goal is money), I would have done nothing if I cannot count drugs in, crime, they are many, you name them, they all occur because of money. Can you close your eyes for a moment and think of the world where no-one knew anything about money…?  What a peaceful world. There would just be no ways for us to know about all the negative stuff, like apartheid, because if you follow it, the only reason was money. Almost every bad thing happens because of “iqhosha elingenantunja” (a button with no hole) as my grandmother would say.

I had decided that I won’t post anything on my blog today, but I got moved by my situation of being bankrupt. If you look at what time this piece was posted, after 9 pm, don’t forget I was still at school. I should have left long ago but finance came unfriendly to me these days. So I waited for the 9:30 pm bus to the township.

Money makes many people think like Willie Sutton and say “I rob banks because that’s where the money is”. Those words come to my head and go, they won’t win my soul!

IS IT THE BETTER LIFE FOR ALL OR FOR SOME?

African National Congress (ANC) is my party, I like it, and there is nothing to hide on that. But now it seems like they are pulling out of the path. They have totally lost the purpose of those who fought for the party. They call themselves ‘presidents’ but me only see ‘predators’. In times of those who honestly fought for our country there were ‘paramount chiefs’, but contemporary you only find ‘paramount thieves’

-Peter Mokaba Stadium

Were these two images shot in the same country? absolutely yes. Either South African government does not want to serve its people, or it's corrupt.

I love my country, I love my people, and I love my religion passionately. I strongly believe that we have the guts to be one of the magnificent countries in the world.

Everyone must be cared for; it really hurts seeing some people going to bed with empty stomachs, some with unpurified water. Seeing everyone mattering in SA whether poor or uneducated would make real people smile.

This is such a great country. It has just hosted one of the huge tournaments worldwide (2010 FIFA World Cup). We spent multi-billions building golden walls, heaven class restaurants and many more expensive things, you name them. We have proved that we DO have power, then why are we not building decent homes for our people??

I love my president, Jacob Gezeyihlekisa Zuma. He is always on duty as expected, BUT he minds a lot about other countries’ businesses. Like now, his nose is deeply inserted in Libyan quarrel, spending money. Why not spending the money to South African needy people??

There is a promise that by 2014 you will get not a single shack in SA. Believe you me, I bet you, if they are still driving this way they will not make the time!   

PROTEAS COACH BEING RACIST AND UNFAIR!

People, black people in particular, are starting to get upset due to that Corie Van Zyl (Proteas coach) is always keeping Lonwabo Tsotsobe out of the World Cup games.

Lonwabo Tsotsobe, a Port Elizabeth born boy, is way very good to some of Proteas players. But the coach keeps on selecting the worst players compared to Tsotsobe. Taking Graeme Smith for an example, Smith has been performing poorly in the games throughout the tournament so far. But the coach keeps on counting him in, whereas there are players who eagerly want to make our nation proud!

Do not they miss the days of celebrating with Lonwabo? This a celebration for Tsotsobe's 4 consecutive wicket victory against India early this year.

Let us take our eyes back to Imran Tahir's injury on his bowling hand thumb, which resulted in Imran not playing couple of games. People were automatically claiming that Imran will be replaced by Tsotsobe as they are both excellent bowlers. Did it happen? Obviously NO! He instead was replaced by Johan Botha.

 Before I fused the pen and paper for this article, I first done something which I may call a survey on 'how people see Proteas coach on the team selection for the world cup games', most of the people claimed that he is kind of like "racist".

Is South African cricket all about White people? Or what's really happening??

WHERE WILL RACIAL PREJUDICE TAKE US?

I have been watching and also taking part in some racial things occuring in my surroundings. That’s when I recognised that racist people are not constructing our country but demolishing and literally destroying our lovely Mzantsi. We (the mzantsi nation) are not just spoiling our present generation but the upcoming generation as well.
What moved me to write this story is my 7-year old nephew, who just said “malume ndiyamcaphukela umlungu” (uncle I hate a white person). I was so shocked and tried my very best to change what he was thinking. He asked me “why did they want to kill tata Madiba”. I explained telling him that, that was then, South Africa is now new.
Hatred because of the colour of the skin is just selfishness, greediness, or even stupidity if I may say. We all belong in this same Rainbow Nation (whether you are black, white, coloured, pink, green or whatever). In order for our country to be a booming one in every aspect we must remove that dirty and unholy sense of racism when seeing someone of other different race.
It is so disapointing and embarrasing to see that our media is also promoting this bad habit. I make the previous statement under Nomakula ‘Kuli’ Robert’s (South African TV personality and columnist) perspective, as she wrote a very racist column directed to coloured people.
It takes an open mind to be colorblind.
You don’t still own a black and white tv, so why see the world that way?

IS MALEMA COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET?!?

If I remember things well, the early months of the year are Malema’s. just in a very short space of time, in the beginning of last year, he did many things (kicking out Johna Fisha, the BBC journalist. Racial sayings and much more).
Not just the above mentioned, but many controversies were raised by Juju throughout the year 2010. Has his time arrived again, as it is that time of the year? Above question is being answered! “Those in power must not abuse their office to benefit their friends and immediate family” ANCYL leader said on Sunday, 27th February. To here more about this statement follow this link: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/politics/Malema-delivers-stinging-message-20110227
Are those words having something beyond them? Are they directed to someone whom he knows who is using the office in to advantage?
